Go for Segoe UI for a dark background website and Helvitica for a light background website. Use light fonts for normal text.

WEBSITE DESIGN FONT COLOURS
The selection of your website font colours for your website design depends on the type and colour of your website background and theme.
It is important to pay attention to the contrast of the colours chosen for your website design.
For example, although it would seem that for a black background white fonts should be used, it is recommended to go for very light grey fonts for your website design. It is easy on the eyes.
High contrast hurts the reader's eyes which, might make the visitor stop reading and close the web page instead of continuing reading your content.
Here is a wix.com blog on how to choose the right website colours titled:
WEBSITE COLOUR DESIGN AND THEME
Choosing the right colour theme is inter-linked to your choice of font colours. It is important to ensure that your fonts blend beautifully with your chosen website design background and theme.
I have touched on website design colour in theme in Guide 006.
HEAVY FONTS VS LIGHT FONTS
Heavy fonts are fonts that are bigger and thicker in size. Bold fonts are also considered heavy fonts.
Unknown to many, having too many text with heavy fonts for your website design has adverse effects on your web page loading speed, it slows down your website loading speed. If you are just having a paragraph or two on that one page then it will not be a problem.
My advice is to use heavy fonts for headers and use normal light fonts for all other text.
Test your mobile and desktop page loading speed through Google Website Loading Speed Testing Tool.
Here is a blog by wix.com in which you can read a little more on this topic titled:
FONT SIZE, BOLD, ITALIC AND UNDERLINE
It is important to create a hierarchy of font sizes for your website design based on where it is used. For example, the page title should be the biggest, followed by the headers and sub-headers.
Most website visitors have the habit of first scrolling through the page to determine if the page has content relevant to what they are looking for and interested in.
As such use bold, italic and underline to bring attention to important parts of the web page but use them sparingly as over-using these for your website design might affect the professional image that you want to achieve for your business website.
Links are usually underlined automatically. Generally most website visitors understand that an underline word or font is a clickable item or an anchor link that brings them to another part of that same web page, another web page within that same website or to another website.
Hope that you have found this blog informative and useful towards designing a professional and attractive website.
Always preview your website as you are designing it and go a step further by showing it to family, friends and colleagues to get more views and opinions on the overall layout, theme and design of your website.
However, remember these are just opinions and do your own research online to find out more from experts, especially if you are unsure about any particular element of your website design.
